Verbs show action or state of being.
Lesson 1
Lesson 2
Verbs are the most important words in a sentence. Verbs are the first of the eight parts of speech that we will be studying. Most verbs are action words, but a few verbs indicate state of being or existence. The first lessons will be about verbs, and how they are recognized and used.
Instructions: Find the state of being verbs in these sentences. 1. My uncle is a pilot. 2. The pie looks good.
Instructions: Find the action verbs in the following sentences.
3. You seem upset.
1. The wolf ran across the sand.
2. Sit down.
3. The dog barked at the man.
Answers: 1. ran 2. sit 3. barked All three verbs are action verbs since they show action. Action verbs are the most common verbs.
Answers: 1. is 2. looks 3. seem These verbs are state of being or linking verbs. Some common linking verbs include: is, am, are, was, were, be, being, been, seem, look, feel, and become. They do not show action; they just show that something exists.
